can they hack into our wallet. There are many professional hackers out there. What are the chances? Also what is the safest way to safeguard ourself?
I think yes. Thats why theyre call hackers. They can hack any information that they want but is depends to the skill of the hacker. There are hackers that can easily hack any account in your wallet and get all your bitcoin. I recommend using high security wallets in order for you to be safe as well as your bitcoin.

Well, it always run in my mind but I think as long as you dont lose you gadget or gave you BTC address in everyone you want to share I think it is safe, unless some people in associates wants to get some of your bitcoin and he has a enough knowledge to perform I suggest that as soon as possible do some preventive acts for you to be safe and sound.
First of all no doubt this is the most secure network or wallet that can be hacked the system is designed by such a way that no other than owner can access it so the conversation is over that it can b hacked no body have access to main database.

only owner can access it and there is no such kind of incident happening which shows that it is most secure than any bank systems,

i have some bitcoin and other crypto currencies stored for the long haul. Im hoping they will rise gradually in value and keep the money i have saved safe. What are the prospects of Bitcoin being hacked, i have heard a little about quantum computers being capable of this And The weakest link in bitcoin's security model is you. If you get robbed, hacked, hit with a rubber hose until you give up your private keys, etc, you're the easiest point of failure for an attacker to get your coins. There is virtually no chance that bitcoin will be "hacked" in the sense that the network will permit people to steal your coins. It relies on some pretty strong cryptography; if you want proofs, you'll want a CS or math degree to understand fully.

i think   no. because   bitcoin wallet have strong security ..you always safe your private   key and don,t share any one . and you can always  use extra computer and mobile.
Hackers are always trying to do anything to steal valuables. their job is looking for security flaws and that is the work of hackers. The current case that often happens is fishing, it is equally dangerous because hackers can take all our bitcoin by using privatekey. be careful with your wallet and always bookmark or check back the address.
Hackers were around the network, it's our responsibility to be on the safer side enabling different security options available. If you go through the hacking history of bitcoin, you could find lots and lots of incidents were people and firms have lost big.
Yeah there are many models and techniques in doing hacking. even this is true story. few days ago i almost lost some of my bitcoin. when I want to withdraw and copy the destination address, then I do paste in the box. but the copy is not my address lol. I'm just know that any new hacking model. they use viruses to hack so when you're out of focus maybe you're not aware of having withdraw at the wrong address LOL. stay cautious man!

I think it is possible to them to hack an account if they are professional hacker even you have secured your bitcoin wallet. All you need to do is just be careful don't trust anyone especially if you don't know the person.

Yes it can be hacked for an example if you download a file on the internet it can include a virus that can steal your wallet. The virus then steals your code on your local device, but if you have your wallet online it maybe difficult for hackers to brake in. Thats why i use most of my wallets online, so you don't have to worry about your files being lost.

Even so, with a lot of viruses on your computer, I don't think that bitcoin wallets will be hacked except obviously when the wallets are in the exchangers which won't give you any rights on making you hold your own bitcoin wallet's private key. I think if you really want to treasure and keep your bitcoins safe, better keep it on bitcoin wallets where you hold the private keys and the master seeds, they are really important.

Dunno, we do not know to what extent the ability of a hacker, but maybe it can. I once watched a hacker movie telling me that there is no secure system if it is on the internet, so maybe it can.

Yes it is, and probably your account will be hack if you dont have sufficient safety measure that will lead to your be exposed to the hackers which we dont want to happened, some people says that multi signature wallets is kinda safer than the ordinary wallet which gives you 3 numbers codes am I right? Instead of having 1. We should be all careful here since it involves a huge amount of profits that hackers really chase.

Well you have to distinguish.. Wallet Software definitely can be "hacked".
But the Wallet (List of Private Keys) can not be hacked.
The Bitcoin System itself is secured against Attacks.
The Problem is the big variety of attacks between corresponding Interfaces (e.g. Communication with Server / Software used to manage Private Keys)

There is no safe in the internet, that is what the old people says in the internet (i'm pointing about the people who used bitcoin for a long time already) so it means that you can't trust the internet 100% because anything can happen since everything in the internet has its weak side so if you want to make sure that your bitcoin is safe then you must invest in security and do more research for effective storing.

I think yes it has the possibility that hackers hacked our bitcoin wallet because hackers now is very intelligent they know how to hacked the wallet in a nice way. But i think the developers of bitcoin wallet is more intelligent than the hackers so we dont need to worry because i believe where in the safe people.

Yes, it's possible for the hackers to hack your bitcoin wallet. If your bitcoin is stored in your to a online wallet there's a chance that the system of the wallet may hack and therefore they will get all the private keys and there's a big chance that your bitcoin will get hacked or be stolen. So in order to be safe you should choose e wallet that's very secure you can use google as your reference and look what are the different wallet you can use.

you can also try the paper wallet where your private key is stored in a piece of paper and you're the only one who has an access in it.

Yes your bitcoin wallet can be hacked by professional hackers specially the online wallet if you have opened your wallet and mistakenly opened it on a site that is not secured that is the time hackers take advantage and pishing for your account details. The chances is 80-100% the safest way to guard your self is to use paper wallet or offline wallet.

Yes they can hack your wallet thru phishing link. They will copy your user name and password or even copy your private key. One way to avoid it is to use offline wallet like hardware wallet or if you use online wallet make sure it has 2fa authenticator.

if you wanna have a better security, i would recommend to have a multi signature wallet (the address with prefix of 3 instead of 1). in case of possibility of being hacked, they need certainly large amount of computing power which consumes all the possible energy in the Earth as there are more than googol (IIRC) of possible combinations and not all the private key is valid for bitcoin address.


Yes it is possible because hacker is one of the IT expert in this new generation and we are all salute their knowledge about computer, what we gonna do now is to make sure that our wallet is being safe don't accept the person if it is anonymous don't  try to give  your own status if there suddenly pop up on your computer, I'm sure that is scam, always monitor your account everyday and most especially if there is an email come in to your yahoo mail just ignore theme if you felt unsafe, thanks!
